Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Variational quantum eigensolvers (VQEs) show promise for tackling complex quantum chemistry challenges and realizing quantum advantages. However, in VQE, the measurement step encounters difficulties due to errors in objective function evaluation, e.g., the energy of a quantum state. While increasing the number of measurement shots can mitigate measurement errors, this approach leads to higher costs. Strategies for shot assignment have been investigated, allowing for the allocation of varying shot numbers to different Hamiltonian terms and reducing measurement variance through term-specific insights. In this paper, we introduce a dynamic approach, the Variance-Preserved Shot Reduction (VPSR) method. This technique strives to minimize the total number of measurement shots while preserving the variance of measurements throughout the VQE process. Our numerical experiments on H-2 and LiH molecular ground states demonstrate the effectiveness of VPSR in achieving VQE convergence with a notably lower shot count.
